The Next Big Leap: The Technologies, Challenges, and Best Practices of Population Health
The burden of managing risk within a population requires more than just data—it necessitates a deep dive into the intricacies and trends to make an impact and deliver value to individuals and across the entire population.
Providers have taken the first steps to deliver on this promise through implementations of core technologies, including: enterprise-wide data warehouses, robust data analytics programs, and visualization tools—requiring heavy use of resources and budget. However, the demands of the next big leap in population health will stretch the limits of IT even further.
Join Healthcare Informatics Editor-in-Chief, Mark Hagland, and a multi-disciplinary panel of providers and experts to hear about the challenges organizations face in progressing toward true population health management. Listen in as our executive panel discusses the lessons learned from population health and the strategies needed to take the next big leap in value-based care.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the biggest challenges as providers continue to transition to value-based care
- Define the best practices and approaches to empowering consumers through mHealth and patient engagement initiatives
- Identify the core technologies needed for risk-based contracting
- Model the foundation required to facilitate personalized medicine
- Prepare a long-term plan for future population health programs, and the foundation needed to drive these initiatives forward

The Future of Cognitive Computing, and its Role in Population Health Management
Healthcare organizations continue to take on more risk as reimbursement models change and a greater emphasis is put on quality over volume. With new infrastructure, additional data points, and the redesign of data exchange between systems, a number of providers have piloted innovative programs leveraging cognitive computing to manage and care for their diverse patient populations.
Join Dr. Paul Grundy and Karen Handmaker, executive leaders on the population health management team at IBM Watson Health, to explore the latest cognitive computing programs being developed by leading providers across the country. Hear the top strategies for piloting cognitive computing initiatives, and the role cognitive computing can play as health systems pursue population health and risk management.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline the current “state of the industry” as providers transition to value-based care
- Examine cognitive computing’s capabilities and role in delivering value to consumers
- Explore data governance policies, mHealth approaches, and realistic infrastructure needs to support cognitive computing initiatives
- Diagram multiple examples of pilot programs from provider organizations, centered around cognitive computing
- Cognitive computing’s impact on patient retention rates and wellness initiatives
